It seems the bowl bug has bitten the DRW crew once again. Case in point, this partially completed sister bowl to the existing DRW bowl. Check out a few more pics of both bowls after the turn and stay tuned for more updates.
It’s compact, wearable and in high-definition, no less. What is it? It’s the GoPro HD Helmet HERO video camera and both, BK and KC are giving it a thumbs up. Check out BK’s afternoon at MC’s along with KC’s Pier Park adventure after the turn. EPM “rainy day diversions” Out!
So you’ve been thinking about building a skate friendly domicile? Well, here’s one that just might fit the bill. Inspired by the 18th century Indian observatory Jantar Mantar, designer Gabriel Orozco in collaboration with architect Tatiana Bilbao, built the aptly named observatory beach house. In addtion to being a skate friendly design, the home integrates well with the natural surroundings. This concept brings to mind a community of bowl dwellers and their skateboarding lifestyles. If ever the opportunity arose to visit this home, count us in. Check out more photos and drawings after the turn. EPM “a super bowl in every house” Out!
Without a doubt, Tristen and crew earned the title “Concrete Masters.” If you’ve mixed and hand-stacked bags of concrete, you know it’s a labor of love. It looks like the coping blocks are starting to creep around the lip in addition to some bowl art. Check it out for yourself over on Tristen’s Earth Patrol network gallery. Props to the artist and their spray can work as well.
It looks like Tristen and crew are making good progress on his combi-bowl while getting a few sessions in along the way. Hey, GVK, this looks like something you might want in your backyard. Check out more progress pics over on Tristen’s Earth Patrol Network page.

The heat has subsided a bit here in Portland so it’s time to get back to work on all those backyard skate projects. Here’s a quick list of some local Northwest backyard projects that have appeared here on Earth Patrol that you might find inspiring. There’s nothing like designing, building and skating your own creations. EPM “sticking the shovel in” out.
Bowls Above the Radar
Tristen and his crew preform delicate surgical pours as they complete the spine on his bowl. It looks like there might be some quality control sessions going down in the very near future based on the progress in that first bowl. Check out more pics of the spine work and bowl over on Tristen’s Earth Patrol Network page.
Tristen and crew are making good progress on their bowl. Two of the eight corner sections are poured and it’s looking good. Now here’s a challenge for the betting types: How many bags of concrete will Tristen use to build his creation? Anyone, anyone? Check out some more pics of this week’s corner pours over on Tristen’s Earth Patrol Network page.
